As you mention, its rare to have a project get completed on time and on budget.

As Stuart mentioned: Computer statistics can be useful but are not the end all be all for determining the value and class of an area.

@Joseph Braun I’m originally from Baltimore and yes to everything @Nicholas L. mentioned.

California is not a great place to have residential real estate for the reasons you mentioned.2a)  Don't get freaked out about all the other things that *might* go wrong. 

I saw a prior post where you mentioned having a STR in Texas.you want to have a conversation with your accountant to see if it can be treated as an active property instead of passive.If it can be, then there is a potential opportunity to offset the losses against other forms of income such as wages, interest and dividends.

Every system you try will have flaws, or you may salivate over a feature that appears in other software.Some familiar names are mentioned frequently: Stessa, Apartments.com, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Innago, RentManager, Avail, Rentec Direct, Doorloop, etc.I recommend conducting thorough research on each app online to understand their offerings, pricing, etc.

Demand for housing in Bali exceeds availability, and favorable construction costs, salaries, regulations, and taxes make Bali an attractive destination for real estate investors.As @Benjamin Werner mentioned owning property in Bali works a bit differently than you probably would expect.

if you do a search on the recent forum posts you will find Ohio mentioned a lot as attractive places to invest, make sure you do due diligence and also have boots on the ground and connect with realtors and investors in that area.Hope this helps and I wish you the best!!

Another forum post mentioned "Are we at a new baseline?"

I believe he mentioned this is a pitched roof, so most likely composition shingle.
